Kipling<br />
“Preserving our past, aspiring<br />
ipling was named for the great English author,<br />
“KRudyard Kipling. The town was born of the great<br />
migration of people from Europe and North America at the<br />
turn of the century. The Canadian West offered free land. The<br />
railways transported settlers coming in and products going<br />
out. Settlers from many lands came together to build homes<br />
and to form communities. Kipling became a trading centre<br />
and a community when a mix of British, German, Hungarian,<br />
and Scandinavian pioneers settled, built homes, schools,<br />
churches, and worked together.<br />
Kipling’s history is typical of many <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> local<br />
histories. But each history is different, although the<br />
environment, the hardships, and the challenges are much<br />
alike. Kipling’s history is unique because so many major<br />
strains, people from many different nations, came together,<br />
accepted one another, worked together and built a thriving<br />
community.” Quoted by Dr. John Archer (Kipling & District<br />
History Book).<br />
Kipling was incorporated September 11, 1909 and attained<br />
town status on January 1, 1954. According to the health<br />
region statistics, Kipling’s population covered by<br />
<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Health Care in June 2010 was 1,236. Kipling<br />
also supports a sizeable trading area. The Town of Kipling is<br />
a 1½ hour drive from the cities of Yorkton, Regina, Estevan<br />
and Weyburn, located in the Rural Municipality of Kingsley<br />
which borders with the RMs of Hazelwood, Silverwood, and<br />
Chester.<br />
Kipling is based on an agricultural economy of grain,<br />
livestock and mixed farms, as well as an ever-increasingly<br />
strong oil exploration and service sector. The livestock<br />
industry boasts several large hog operations, which includes<br />
two of the world’s leading companies conducting research<br />
on swine genetics. Kipling has also become the centre for<br />
health care and youth education in the area.<br />
